With this mighty wind board ruling the waves, surfing just got a little less cool.

Show those radder-than-thou surf rats over at Powder Point Bridge who’s boss with a wave rider that dominates in power and, if you couldn’t tell, size. At 14 feet tall and nearly 6 feet wide, the light, supertough 5.2 sail by World-Sails can harness the most raging gusts. For a seamless ride, pair it with JP-Australia’s 78 II board: The shorter length and lower tail volume allow for maneuvers that don’t just weather a nasty wind shift—they conquer it.
World-Sails 5.2 sail, $554; JP-Australia Freestyle Wave 78 II board, $1,689; Fiberspar fiberglass mast, $229; Hawaii Pro Line boom, $179, all at Sailworld Cape Cod, 139 Main St., Buzzards Bay, 508-759-6559, sailworld.com.
